Erebia Eriphyle (Frr.) Subsp NEW FORMS IN THE GENUS EREBIA (LEPIDOPTERA) by CURT EISNER A revision of the material belonging to the genus Erebia Dalman in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, mainly based on the "Monograph of the genus Erebia" by B. C. S. Warren (London, 1936), induced me to describe a number of new subspecies and aberrations, and to make some remarks on forms already described. The greater and most important part of the material is to be found in the Mezger collection, which is kept separate. It has always been indicated with the types, if they are to be found in that collection ; all other types are included in the general collection of Lepidoptera of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historic Descriptions and remarks are following here in systematic order, ac­ cording to Warren's system. Erebia eriphyle (Frr.) subsp. tristis H.­S. ab. secundo-tertiopunctata nov. ab. The typical eriphyle possesses two black spots on the forewing; specimens deviating in this respect were described as ab. tripunctata Hoffm. with three spots, and as ab. impunctata Höfn. without black spots. One of the spec­ imens in hand, from Reichenstein, Styria, and consequently belonging to the subsp. tristis H.­S., shows the two hindmost black spots of the ab. tripunctata Hoffm., but the foremost spot is lacking. I propose the name secundo-tertiopunctata nov. ab. for this aberration. Holotype: ♂, Reichenstein, 15 VII 1923, in the Mezger collection. Erebia manto (Schiff. & Dennis) subsp. osmanica Schaw. ab. subtus- lutescens nov. ab., and ab. bubastis nov. ab. In his excellent monograph of the genus Erebia Warren writes that the ♀♀ °f the subspecies osmanica Schaw.—Schawerda did not describe the ♀ himself—do not show a bright submarginal band on the underside of the hindwing. This statement is borne out by the greater part of the specimens which I have examined from the typical locality, "Trebevic". Here the bands 272 CURT EISNER are reduced and they do not contrast much with the ground­colour. Two ♀♀, however, show a distinct submarginal band, the first a lemon­yellow one : ab. subtus-lutescens nov. ab. Holotype: ♀, Trebevic, 21 VII 1927, Dr. Bath, Halle a.S., in the Mezger collection. The second distinctly banded ♀ shows a pure white band: ab. bubastis nov. ab. Holotype : ♀, Trebevic, VII 1929, Dr. Bath, Halle a. S., in the Mezger collection. These deviations agree with those of E. manto (Schiff. & Dennis), respectively of the subsp. mantoides (Esp.), described under the same names. Erebia flavofasciata Heyne subsp. thiemei Bartel. Contrary to Warren I consider the Engadine specimens as a good sub­ species, because all the specimens in hand show the same development, namely the tendency to reduction of the bands and of the black spots. In none of the 28 Engadine specimens which I examined, the bands and spots have developed as much as in the type of the species from Campolungo Pass. The f. warreni Vty. is a local form of this race, which shows the tendency to reduction in extreme measure. Erebia epiphron (Knoch) subsp. silesiana M.­D. ab. privata nov. ab. In a cf from the Altvater, the typical locality of this race, the otherwise rich bands of the forewing are reduced to separate brown­red spots enclosing the black pupils. The bands of the hindwing are nearly extinguished. The black spots have decreased ; the ground­colour is lighter. Holotype : çf, Altvater, in the Mezger collection. Erebia epiphron (Knoch) subsp. orientpyrenaica subsp. nov. After comparing the series in hand: 28 specimens from the Vosges, among which cotypes of the subsp. vogesiaca Goltz (syn. of subsp. mackeri Fuchs), and 29 specimens from the Pyrénées Orientales, I cannot agree with Warren's opinion that the epiphron from the Pyrénées Orientales also has to be included in the subsp. mackeri Fuchs. The race of epiphron flying in the Pyrénées Orientales averages a larger size, and is more strongly built than the race from the Vosges. The specimens from the Pyrénées Orientales show more brilliant colours. The red­brown or yellow­red on the underside of the forewing of the tf, respectively the 99» radiates from the bands to the base of the wing. The principal character is, however, presented by the much wider but shorter bands in the forewings of the new subsp., which bands are totally replaced by the ground­colour in the last segment of the wing, and partially so in the penultimate segment; they almost appear NEW FORMS IN THE GENUS EREBIA 273 horizontally cut off. This new race may be named subsp. orientpyrenaica nov. subsp. Holotype: tf, Mont Canigou, VII 1928, J. Staettermayer; allotype: Ç, Mont Canigou, VIII 1927, J. Staettermayer, paratypes.: 7 tftf, Mont Canigou; 2 tftf Val d'Eyne; 3 tftf, 1 9> Vernet les Bains; 9 tf tf, 5 99, Cambre d'Ase; all in the Mezger collection. One tf from the Catalonian Pyrenees nearly approaches the subsp. orientpyrenaica nov. subsp., but has narrower and longer bands on the forewings. Erebia epiphron (Knoch) subsp. orientpyrenaica nov. subsp. ab. dis- persa nov. ab. One tf from Mont Canigou shows the bands in the forewings radiating in the direction of the base of the wings. This aberration may be called dispersa nov. ab. Holotype : tf, Mont Canigou, VII 1928, J. Staettermayer, in the Mezger collection. Erebia epiphron (Knoch) subsp. pyrenaica H.­S. ab. obsoleta nov. ab. Two tftf from Gavarnie show the tendency to blackening of this race in an extreme manner. They are plain black­brown above as well as below. Of the markings only small spots separated by the brown ground­colour and enclosing the four minute black pupils in the forewings are faintly visible. Holotype: tf, Gavarnie, Hautes Pyrénées, 25 VII 1935; paratype: tf, Gavarnie; both in the Mezger collection. This aberration agrees with its homonym described by Tutt of the subsp. memnon (Haw.) Erebia pharte (Hb.) In his monograph Warren adds the specimens of 'pharte" from Carinthia to the subsp. eupompa Frhst., those from Vorarlberg to the typical race. In Carinthia representatives of the two races appear to meet. According to their appearances and the diagnosis of E. pharte (Hb.), respectively of the subsp. eupompa Frhst., the Carinthian specimens should be distributed over the two races. The large series in hand from Nest­Gehr, Eastern Vorarlberg, however, without doubt belongs to the subsp. eupompa Frhst. Erebia pharte (Hb.) subsp. eupompa Frhst. ab. reducta nov. ab. The subsp. eupompa Frhst. also has representatives with reduced bands ; this reduction naturally does not go as far as in the f. pellene Frhst. This deviation from the type of the race may be named ab. reducta nov. ab. Holotype: tf, Rotwand, Bavarian Alps, 21 VII 1917; allotype: 9, Nebel­ horn, Oberstdorf, Allgäu, 26 VII 1917, Ε. Möbius; paratypes: ι tf, Rei­ Zoologische Mededeelingen, XXVI 18 274 CURT EISNER chenstein, Styria ; ι , Carniolla, Crna prst, Dobovsek, Laibach ; ι , Nest Gehr, Eastern Vorarlberg; ι tf, First, Eastern Vorarlberg, all in the Mezger collection. Erebia aethiops (Esp.) ab. perfusa + semicaeca nov. ab. One cf (pátria ignota) has broadened bands with diluted inner edges. In the forewing there are four relatively small black spots, of which only the two apical ones, which have still the white pupils, are left on the under side ; on the upper side of the hindwing the two inferior spots only are left as mere black points. Holotype : cf, pátria ignota. Erebia trianus (De Prun.) ab reducta nov. ab. A Q from the Alpes Maritimes has the bands reduced on the upperside of the forewings; the bands of the hindwings for the greater part are replaced by the ground­colour and consist of round spots separated by the ground­colour along the nervures. Holotype: 9, Alpes Maritimes, in the Mezger collection. (In the 99 °f tne subsp. eurykleia Frhst. and the subsp. letincia Frhst. the reduction of the bands appears to belong to the racial characters; in a 9 from Zermatt the band of the forewing is even interrupted by the ground­ colour in the posterior segments). Erebia medusa (Schiff. & Dennis) I might remark beforehand, that the very rich material of this Erebia which I could examine does not match the diagnoses by the authors, but when I arrange the specimens as to their habitus, I am—on the other hand —unable to follow the regional division into several subspecies drawn up by Warren in his monograph. From Orsova for instance I have specimens, which should be assigned about for one half to the typical subspecies, for the other half to the subsp. psodea (Hb.). Is not psodea (Hb.) perhaps yet a local form? Can it not be that the variation of E. medusa (Schiff. & Dennis), as far as the development of the bands and the colour is con­ cerned, is controlled by the climatic conditions in each flying season, and that the various subspecies have not yet got a constant habitus, characteristic of each of them? For want of enough special knowledge I do not venture to answer this question, but I should like to point out in connection with what is stated above, that in Parnassius the development of the markings and of the colour differs very much in the different years and that this fact does not determine the facies of the separate races at all. Yet there exists a general tendency for the direction of the development of "medusa", which is given by the local climate. The Bulgarian specimens in hand are marked rather poorer than the typical "medusa", they do not at all remind of psodea NEW FORMS IN THE GENUS EREBIA 275 (Hb.) and certainly belong to subsp. euphrasia Frhst. What Warren writes concerning this subspecies I cannot but confirm, and it applies to specimens from the Herzegovina too; the representatives of "medusa" from Serbia, also from the localities mentioned by Fruhstorfer in the description of subsp.

Populations are typically fragmented, restricted to high altitudes in one or several mountain ranges, where habitat is relatively well preserved, but where the effects of climate change are considerable. As a result, the genus Erebia has become a model to study the impact of climate changes, past and present, on intraspecific genetic diversity. In this study, we inferred phylogenetic relationships among populations of the European species Erebia epiphron and Erebia orientalis using mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear markers (ITS2, wg and RPS5), and reconstructed their phylogeographical history. We confirm E. orientalis and E. epiphron as a relatively young species pair that split c.

Abstract: A review of the systematics, ecology and conservation of the 13 species of the genus Coenonympha which are currently recognized from Europe is presented. The paper comprises results from allozyme electrophoretic studies in several Coenonympha species with a focus on C. glycerion. These prove that populations of the latter species from the Iberian Peninsula are genetically differentiated from Central European populations, but freely interbreed in the Pyrenees. Therefore the taxon iphioides should be regarded as a subspecies of C. glycerion.

GERS, CR1-HDR, Toulouse III Co-Encadrant RÉSUMÉ - Le genre Erebia Dalman, 1816 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae), parmi les plus diversifiés de la région Holarctique, est inféodé aux milieux froids montagnards et arctiques. Dans la première moitié du 20ème siècle, des études ont permis de classifier les espèces, mais de nombreux points restaient à éclaircir. Le groupe E. tyndarus (Esper, 1781), représenté dans la plupart des montagnes de la région Holarctique a, par ailleurs, fait l'objet d'un intérêt tout particulier. En effet, ses espèces, difficiles à différencier, sont issues d’une radiation récente liée aux changements climatiques majeurs du Pléistocène. De récentes études phylogénétiques ont également abouti à des résultats relativement divergents. Cependant, une partie importante de l'information n'a pas été prise en compte, seules quelques populations des taxa européens ayant été considérées. C'est donc autour de ce groupe Holarctique qu'est axée la problématique de ce travail. Une première étude moléculaire utilisant le gène ND5 a été entreprise sur diverses espèces d'Erebia provenant de toute la région Holarctique. Bien que faiblement résolutive, elle a permis de mettre en évidence de nombreux groupes monophylétiques, parmi lesquels le groupe E.

It is based on a concatenated alignment of the mitochondrial gene COI and up to 11 nuclear gene fragments, using Bayesian inference of phylogeny. To avoid analytical biases that could result from our region-focus sampling, our European tree was grafted upon a global genus- level backbone butterfly phylogeny for analyses. In addition to a consensus tree, we provide the posterior distribution of trees and the fully-concatenated alignment for future analyses.

  • SLOVENIA & HUNGARY Butterflies of the Alps, Grasslands & Coast
    SLOVENIA & HUNGARY Butterflies of the Alps, Grasslands & Coast 15 – 22 July 2014 TOUR REPORT Leader: Attila Steiner Local guides & experts: Rudi Verovnik (butterflies, Slovenia) Szabolcs (“Safi”) Sáfián (butterflies and moths, Hungary) Tibor Danyik (general entomology, Hungary) SUMMARY Overall, our tour was extremely successful. We achieved our objective of seeing all four currently- recognised species of large blue, including upland and lowland forms of both “common” large blue and Alcon blue. We saw the majority of the upland ringlets possible at this time of year, including both Styrian and Stygian ringlets and the eastern alpine endemic Lorkovic’s brassy ringlet. In total we saw 116 species of butterfly. Good weather conditions meant that we were able to fully appreciate the major habitat types we visited. In particular, the many types of meadow were spectacularly flowery and the diversity of plants supported a wonderfully diverse population of invertebrates. Our small party was also able to benefit considerably from the great expertise of all of the local guides and experts used. DAILY REPORT Tuesday 15 July Ljubljana to Pivka The afternoon flight from Stansted to Ljubljana arrived on time and we were quickly on our way towards Pivka, where we were staying at a small farm that provided excellent accommodation just outside the town. We had sufficient time before dinner to make a brief exploration of the valley at around 500 metres above sea level, which was principally meadowland with a few small strips of crops and produce surrounded by forest. A strip of Indian hemp Cannabis sativa was particularly attractive to stonechats and whinchats.

Day 1 Wednesday 11th July The whole group met up at Gatwick and took the BA afternoon flight to Venice, collected our 2 minibuses, and were soon heading north towards the mountains. Spectacular cumulonimbus clouds and rainbows marked dissipating thunderstorms during our drive up into the Bellunesi Dolomites. We arrived in the hamlet of Tamion nicely in time for dinner as the sun set on the Val di Fassa. Day 2 Thursday 12th July After breakfast we set off on foot from the hotel, admiring the fantastic views all about us. The butterflies arrived progressively as the day warmed up, and we soon discovered that our 17 pairs of eyes included keen lepidopterists and able photographers. The sky was blue and we were accompanied through the meadow by Dark Green Fritillaries and Marbled Whites. Soon we found our first Erebias – the Arran Brown and then the Large Ringlet – two species that were to turn up at most of the high sites we visited later.

  • Erebia Epiphron and Erebia Orientalis: Sibling Butterfly Species with Contrasting Histories Joan Carles Hinojosa1, Yeray Monaste
    Erebia epiphron and Erebia orientalis: sibling butterfly species with contrasting histories Joan Carles Hinojosa1, Yeray Monasterio2, Ruth Escobés2, Vlad Dincă3 & Roger Vila1 5 1.

Madre de Dios 14, 26004 Logroño, Spain 3. Department of Ecology and Genetics, PO Box 3000, 90014 University of 10 Oulu, Finland Abstract The butterfly genus Erebia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) is the most diverse in Europe and comprises boreo-alpine habitat specialists. Populations are 15 typically fragmented, restricted to high altitudes in one or several mountain ranges, where habitat is relatively well preserved, but climate change effects are remarkable. As a result, the genus Erebia has become a model to study the impact of climate changes, past and present, onto intraspecific genetic diversity. In this study, we inferred phylogenetic relationships 20 among populations of the European species Erebia epiphron and Erebia orientalis using mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear markers (ITS2, wg and RPS5), and reconstructed their phylogeographic history. We confirm E. orientalis and E. epiphron as a relatively young species pair that split ca. 1.53 (±0.65) million years ago. The high genetic homogeneity of E. 25 orientalis, combined with a restricted geographic range in the eastern 1 Balkans, suggests that this taxon may be suffering of inbreeding depression and displays low adaptability to potential environmental changes, which calls for close monitoring of population trends. Contrastingly, genetic structure was complex for E. epiphron, revealing an intricate 30 phylogeographic history apparently including a succession of dispersal events, mixing of populations and periods of isolation in multiple refugia.
